By Janice Hardy, @Janice_Hardy

Becoming a writer isn’t an easy path! There are many challenges that new writers face on their quest to say "I am a writer" --challenges which, like those on any other quest, have to be overcome if we wish to find the treasure at the end.

Some of these common challenges include: Wondering what you should be writing about; finding the time and the inspiration to write; overcoming the fear of not being good enough, of what might come up; not writing consistently; procrastinating; getting easily distracted; struggling with keep a writer’s journal that inspires and guide your writing life (because you know you should be doing that but you just…don’t!)

Dawn Purcell is a writer, a writing and journaling mentor, and founder of the Soul Script writing method. She's also wrestled with these challenges; but now, she has reached a point where she combines managing a family of five with dedication to what she calls a ‘holistic’ writing life! For her, writing is not only at the core of her work, but is also the foundation to the way she lives her life personally and professionally.

Dawn has made it her mission to help other writers overcome some of these challenges too, and create an inspired, consistent and fulfilling writing practice that makes you confidently say "I am a WRITER."

She hosted the first Power of Writing interview series, where she interviewed a wide range of people from all over the industry. And she is now bringing it back for a second season!

I'm part of this year's telesummit, along with 15 other experts in a different aspect of writing for The Power of Writing: Discover and share your gifts through developing a powerful and purposeful writing practice.

And I have a complimentary ticket for you to attend: Register here!
